Iron Pillar’ Kim Min-jae continues to ‘summon’ European football’s legendary defenders through great success.
This is because Kim Min-jae has a similar play style to them. Views of how Naples excavated such a gem continue to explode.
The most recent defender summoned by Kim Min-jae is Giorgio Chiellini (39), who was like the heart of Catenaccio in Italy in the 2010s.
Napoli recorded 19 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss as of the 14th, having played 22 Italian Serie A (Part 1) matches, with 59 points. If this trend is maintained, it will record 101.9 points in the 2022/23 season. 먹튀검증
This almost coincides with Juventus’ 102 points in a single Serie A season in the 2013/14 season, led by current Tottenham coach Antonio Conte. Only one club in history has scored over 100 points, and Napoli are coming closer.
As a result, Chiellini and Kim Min-jae, who were key defenders at the time, have something in common.
Italian local media ‘Il Martino’ said, “Chiellini played an active role based on strong headers and defensive predictions,” and “Kim Min-jae is playing that role in Naples. He is showing good shape in the air ball and man-marking the opponent.” and praised it.
The defenders Kim Min-jae summoned before Chiellini were Sergio Ramos (37) and Fabio Cannavaro (50).
When Kim Min-jae, who was recruited last summer in place of Kalidou Koulibaly, who left for Chelsea, played a big role, the British media lined up the two.
Last October, Britain’s ‘Daily Mail’ said, “There is no sophisticated technique, but it reminds me of an English defender in the 1950s.”
“Kim Min-jae was inspired by Ramos and Cannavaro, but he also has leadership,” he said, adding that he has similarities with Cannavaro, who won the 2006 World Cup in Germany and Italy, who won the Ballon d’Or, and Ramos, a world-class defender of Spanish nationality who is still playing for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). suggested
Chiro Ferrara, another ‘world class’ defender born in Italy, became a hot topic due to Kim Min-jae.
He imagined a scene in which Ferrara (56) from Naples interacts with Kim Min-jae. Through the media, he said, “I want to play with Kim Min-jae. Of course, I have to ask him. If Min-jae Kim wants it, it’s possible.”
In addition, in Naples, it is often compared with key defenders in the 1986/87 season and 1989/90 season, when Napoli won the most recently.
